Definitions

  • This invention relates to a procedure for making dry and dust free enzyme granules particularly useful for use with laundry detergents.
  • the manufacture of enzymatic washing and cleaning agents by incorporating powdered, highly active enzyme concentrates by mixing them with common cleaning agents is well known.
  • the washing agents manufactured in this manner tend to form enzyme dusts which can cause dermatologic damage both to the manufacturer and the consumer of the enzyme powder containing washing composition.
  • German AS 21 37 042 discloses a process in which an extrudable enzyme containing formulation is extruded through a die onto the revolving plate of a spheronizing device to form spherical particles of the enzyme containing formulations which are optionally coated with a material designed to prevent dusting.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,016,040 discloses a method for the preparation of free-flowing substantially dust free, spherical enzyme containing beads prepared by blending a powdered concentrate of the enzyme with a binder in molten form and spraying droplets of the blend through a spray nozzle into cool air to solidify the droplets and form the beads.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,009,076 Another type of granular enzyme formulation is described in U.S. Patent No. 4,009,076.
  • This formulation is prepared by mixing the dry enzyme with a solid non-viable substance and optionally a cohesive organic material as binder to form an enzymatically active core.
  • An enzyme slurry containing the cohesive organic material can be sprayed onto, for example, sodium tripolyphosphate in a mixer or an enzyme powder can be mixed with the sodium tripolyphosphate and the cohesive organic material sprayed onto it with subsequent extrusion through a die.
  • the enzyme containing granule is sprayed with an aqueous solution containing a plasticized organic resin and then dried.
  • a process is described in DDR Patent No. 0 151 598 in which sodium tripolyphosphate is sprayed with an aqueous enzyme solution and agglomerated in a cyclone apparatus.
  • the agglomerates are removed from the cyclone apparatus while still wet and placed in a mechanical blender with a drying detergent formulation and intensively mixed.
  • FR-A 2,160,661 and JP-A 60/37984 there are described processes for the production of enzyme granules by spraying a dispersed or dissolved enzyme (FR-A 2,160,661) or a powdered enzyme (JP-A 60/37984) onto a water-soluble or water-dispersible core material and fixing the enzymes on the core material by means of organic cohesive compounds or binders which are sprayed onto the core material before, simultaneously or after the enzymes have been applied to the core material.
  • the enzyme coated core materials such obtained are subsequently covered by a protective coating.
  • the present invention is a method for the production of dust free enzyme containing particles.
  • the method comprises the steps of:
  • a fluid bed dryer typically, such devices comprise a dryer consisting of a circular product chamber that has a porous grid on the bottom and is open on the top to be put up against a conical shaped expansion chamber of a larger diameter than the circular product chamber.
  • a dryer consisting of a circular product chamber that has a porous grid on the bottom and is open on the top to be put up against a conical shaped expansion chamber of a larger diameter than the circular product chamber.
  • the initial step in the method involves introducing a particulate, hydratable core material into the reaction chamber of the fluidized bed reactor and suspending the particles therein on a stream of air.
  • the core particles are of a highly hydratable material, i.e. a material which is readily dispersible or soluble in water.
  • the core material should either disperse (fall apart by failure to maintain its integrity) or solubilize by going into a true solution.
  • Clays bentonite, kaolin
  • non-pareils and agglomerated potato starch are considered dispersible.
  • Non-pareils are spherical particles consisting of a solid core that has been rounded into a spherical shape by binding layers of powder to the core in a rotating spherical container.
  • the non-pareils used in the examples which follow have a sugar (typically sucrose) crystal core less than 0,3 mm (-50 mesh on the U.S. Standard Sieve Series) that was rounded by binding layers of corn starch onto the core using sugar as a binder.
  • the sugar used for binding was dissolved in water (50% w/w) and sprayed onto a mixture of sugar and corn starch while they were being rotated in a 167,64 cm (66 inch) Groen Stainless Steel Rotating Pan which were then heated to drive off the water.
  • the crystals When the crystals had been rounded into approximately 0,85 mm to 0,25 mm (-20 mesh to 60 mesh) spheres, they were dried and sieved whereupon the >0,85 mm, ⁇ 0,25 mm(-20 mesh +60 mesh) fractions were put back into the rotating pan and heated. They were then coated with a layer (approximately 10% w/w) of dextrin from an aqueous solution (50% w/w) that was sprayed onto the spheres while heating to drive off the water. The finished product was again sieved to 0,85 mm to 0,25 mm (-20 mesh +60 mesh). Salt particles (NaCl crystals, NaCl rock salt, NaHCO3) are considered soluble.
  • core particles can be non-pareils of a salt crystal, starch and a sugar solution or a sugar crystal, starch and a sugar solution with or without a final coat of dextrin or a confectionary glaze.
  • agglomerated trisodium citrate pan crystallized NaCl flakes, bentonite granules and prills, bentonite/kaolin/diatomaceous earth disk pelletized granules and sodium citrate crystals.
  • the core particle is of a material which is not dissolved during the subsequent spraying process and is of a particle size of from 150 to 2,000 ⁇ m (100 mesh to 10 mesh on the U.S. Standard Sieve Series) in its longest dimension.
  • Enzymes suitable for use in this method are those which are soluble or dispersible in an aqueous media and from which the water can be removed to leave a residual layer of enzyme on the surface of the core material.
  • Suitable enzymes include, for example, proteases (bacterial, fungal, acid, neutral or alkaline), amylases (alpha and beta) and lipases whose water solutions or dispersions are prepared by dispersing or dissolving a precipitated enzyme cake in water using vigorous agitation.
  • the enzyme precipitate is dissolved or dispersed at a level of 15% to 30% solids (w/w) of which 100% down to 30% is enzyme with the remaining solids comprising, e.g., metallic salts, binders, plasticizers and fragrances.
  • the dispersion including any optional binders, metallic salts, stabilizers or fragrances must have a viscosity of 10 to 5,000 mPa ⁇ s at room temperature low enough to be pumped and atomized for effective spray coating.
  • the enzyme is applied to the surface of the core material by fluidizing the core particles in a flow of air whereupon a solution containing the enzyme and optionally other solids is then atomized and sprayed into the fluidized bed.
  • the atomized droplets contact the surface of the core particles leaving a film of the solids adhering to the surface of the particles when the water is evaporated.
  • the enzyme coated particles When sufficient enzyme is applied to the core particles to provide the desired enzyme activity, the enzyme coated particles, while still suspended in the reaction chamber of the fluidized bed reactor, are coated with a uniform layer of a water soluble or water dispersible, macro-molecular, film-forming coating agent. This is accomplished in a manner similar to that used for application of the enzyme coating.
  • Suitable film-forming agents include, for example, fatty acid esters, alkoxylated alcohols, polyvinyl alcohols, ethoxylated alkylphenols and more specifically, polyethylene glycols (MW 1,000 to 8,000), linear alcohol alkoxylates (MW 1,450 to 2,670), polyvinyl pyrrolidone (MW 26,000 to 33,000), polymeric nonylphenyl ethoxylates (MW 1,975 to 4,315) and dinonylphenyl ethoxylate (average MW 6,900).
  • the net result of the process is to provide an enzyme coated core particle having a continuous layer of the film-forming material on its surface wherein there is applied sufficient enzyme and film-forming material to provide a total dry weight gain of 25% to 55% based on the weight of the particulate core material to thereby provide the desired dust free enzyme containing particle.
  • the dust free enzyme particles of the present invention can be used wherever enzymes are needed in an aqueous system. Thus, they can be used as additives to detergent formulations, for removing gelatin coatings on photographic films to aid in silver recovery, in the digestion of wastes from food processing plants for nitrogen recovery, in denture cleansers for removing protein bound stains and as a processing aid in waste water treatment.
  • the method of practicing the invention is further illustrated by the following examples where all mesh sizes are on the U.S. Standard Sieve Series, and the dryer is a ®Uni-Glatt * laboratory model fluid bed dryer with variable air temperature and flow through the bed.
  • the device has a 15,24 cm (6 inch) Wurster insert which consists of a container 13,97 cm (5-1/2") diameter by 16,51 cm (6-1/2")height) for the core material that fits against the bottom of the device's expansion chamber.
  • the plate on the bottom of the Wurster has holes in it to distribute the air through the bed with the holes in the center being of a larger diameter than the rest of the holes in the plate.
  • a cylindrical hollow tube (7cm (2-3/4)inches diameter by 15,24 cm (6 inches) length) called a partition is suspended above these larger diameter holes creating a higher air flow up through the partition than up around the outside of the partition.
  • the air flow is adjusted based on the quantity and density of the core particles so that the particles flow up inside the partition into the expansion chamber then fall back down outside the partition into the area with less air flow while the bed is kept fluidizing and drying. This difference in air flow creates a circular upward and downward movement of the particles.
  • the spray nozzle is installed at the bottom of the partition pointed upwards. This arrangement keeps the atomized liquid co-current with the motion of the cores being coated and results in a smooth coating.
  • the speed of the circular flowing motion of the cores is adjustable by regulating the amount of air going through the partition and the amount of air going around the outside of the partition.
  • the droplet size of the atomized enzyme solution spray is adjusted by adjusting the liquid pumping rate and the air pressure for atomization. The process can be accelerated by using counter current downward spray without using the Wurster column.
  • "Uni-Glatt” is a trademark of Glatt Process Technology GmbH
  • the height of the Wurster insert partition is adjustable vertically and was adjusted from 0,64cm (1/4 inch) to 1,9 cm (3/4 inch) up from the bottom plate.
  • denser core materials up to 3/4 of the holes outside the partition were blocked off to provide a higher linear velocity for the air to lift the particles up through the inside of the partition and maintain a smooth circulation of material through the spraying area.
  • the total air flow was adjusted to get a good flow of cores through the partition and keep the bed outside the partition fluidized.
  • Inlet air temperature was adjusted up to a maximum of 75°C so that the outlet as well as particle temperatures were below 50°C. Typical outlet temperatures during the coating process were 25°C to 40°C.
  • the solids level of enzyme slurry sprayed in was 15% to 30% of the solution (w/w).
  • Feed rate varied from 5 ml/min. to 20 ml/min. When a more soluble core material was used, a lower initial feed rate was essential to coat a layer of enzymes on the core before the feed rate was increased.
  • Atomization air pressure ranged from 1.0 to 1.5 bar.
  • a typical dry weight gain of the core material after enzyme coating is 10% to 35% depending on the final activity desired.
  • the enzyme coated core was further coated with a macro-molecular, film-forming, water soluble or water dispersible coating agent to seal the enzyme from contact with the atmosphere or persons handling the particle. After application of the enzyme and protective coating, the total dry weight gain based on the weight of the core material after the dust free coating is 25% to 55%.
  • the core materials are either salt or non-pareils.
  • Salt is totally soluble and water clear when dissolved and is inexpensive as a core material. Being a solid crystal and not a multicompound structure, it is less subject to breaking up during the coating process and the enzyme slurry can be sprayed at a faster rate.
  • the salt particles being cubes make them more difficult to coat because there is a greater tendency for poor binding between the film and the core.
  • enzyme coated salt crystals are more subject to film loss due to attrition from the corners of cubes striking the flat surfaces of others. This problem can be partially alleviated by adding binders or plasticizers to the enzyme slurry.
  • Suitable materials include carboxymethyl cellulose, sodium alginate, collagen, polyethylene glycol and ethoxylated alkylphenols in an amount of from 1 to 10% (w/w) of the total solids in the slurry.
  • the flat surfaces provide larger areas of contact between particles which can cause agglomeration thereby inhibiting the flow characteristics of the coated salt particles.
  • the non-pareils are spherical, can readily be coated with a continuous film and have less area of contact among particles thereby limiting agglomeration. The final spherical product has better flow characteristics than the cubic salt based enzyme product.
  • nonpareil particles prepared by spraying a sugar solution onto sugar crystals which were coated with starch followed by a final coat of dextrin, less than 0,6 mm, but greater than 0,25mm (-30 +60 mesh)
  • DAPU Detergent Alkaline Protease Unit
  • the enzyme coated particles were further coated with a nonylphenol ethoxylate having an average -molecular weight of 4315 marketed under the trademark ®Iconol NP-100 (BASF-Wyandott Corp.) by spraying 120g of its aqueous solution onto the particles in the Uni-Glatt device.
  • the solution which was 50% w/w, contained 60 g of the Iconol NP-100 and was sprayed at a rate of 8 ml/minute.
  • Iconol NP is a nonionic chemical compound composed of a nonylphenol hydrophobe and a polyoxyethylene group hydrophile all in one molecule.
  • the material is represented by the structural formula: with X being approximately 100 in the NP-100 material.
  • coated particles were further cosmetically coated with 260 g of an aqueous solution containing 82 g (31.5% w/w) titanium dioxide and 27 g (10.4% w/w) Iconol NP-100 at the feed rate of 8 ml/minute.
  • the Uni-Glatt operating conditions were the same as in Example 1 except that the Wurster insert was 1,9 cm (3/4 inch) from the bottom plate and the inlet temperature was in the 70-74°C range.
  • One thousand grams of ⁇ 0,6mm >0,25mm (-30 +60 mesh) non-pareils (sugar crystals-sugar solution-starch-dextrin-glaze) was charged to the Uni-Glatt and fluidized.
  • An aqueous enzyme slurry with 19% (w/w) dry solid having activity of 643.8 DAPU/g and 252,632 MWU/g (modified Wohlgemuth unit per gram) was fed into the dryer for coating at the rate of 12 ml/min.
  • a total of 2000 g of enzyme slurry containing 380 g of enzyme solid was used.
  • the enzyme coated particles were further coated with 146 g of a 50% (w/w) solution containing 73 g of polyethylene glycol (MW 4000) in water at a feed rate of 12 ml/min. and an inlet air temperature of 50-54°C.
  • the enzyme coated salt crystals were further coated with 20.3 kg of a solution containing 6.1 kg (30% w/w) Iconol NP-100 in water at the feed rate of 125 ml/min. for 80 minutes, 167 ml/min. for 30 minutes, and 227 ml/min. for 22 minutes.
  • the GPCG-60 fluidized bed dryer is a production model fluid bed spray coater very similar in design to the Uni-Glatt except that it has a proportionally taller expansion chamber. It was operated under the following conditions:
  • the enzyme coated particles were further coated with 9.7 kg of a solution containing 2.91 kg (30% w/w) Iconol NP-100 in water at the flat feed rate of 36 ml/min. for 81 minutes.
  • the particles were further coated with 11.6 kg of an aqueous solution containing 3.48 kg TiO2 (30% w/w) and 1.39 Iconol NP-100 (12% w/w) at the feed rate of 50 to 55 ml/min. for 214 minutes.
  • the enzyme coated particles were further coated with 2.6 kg of an aqueous solution containing 50% (w/w) Iconol NP-100 and 50% water.
  • the solution was atomized at a spray rate of 70 g/min. at 50°C inlet temperature. Holding the inlet air at 50°C resulted in a product temperature of 37 to 41°C.
